2(5H)-Furanone (CAS 108-30-7) is a cyclic unsaturated ketone serving as a key intermediate in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C4H4O2. Produced via catalytic oxidation of furfural or butadiene, it acts as a versatile building block for heterocyclic compounds.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE to prevent skin contact and inhalation due to potential irritancy and flammability risks during handling.
